What are whiskers for? How do they work? And what can we learn from them? @RobynAnneGrant explains in our latest video with @BBCIdeas, with the help of some porcupines!

Our paper on song in female blue tits is finally out

Filmed this morning by Jean Louis Kakoua Atsima, the DTA at @Parcs_Gabon, this elephant is feeding on aquatic plants in the Ivindo River above Koungou Falls - in the Ivindo World Héritage Site.

This one is amazing…😵‍💫

Exciting new paper in Evolution @journal_evo by the Frommen Lab (@MMUEcolEnv) highlighting how age‐ and sex‐dependent variation in relatedness shape the structure of highly cooperative fish societies in the wild. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev…

well done and cool paper

A new entry in the charts for Highly-Anticipated Bird Books of 2021. Make sure you get it from the good folds @sounds_wild when it lands.

I tweeted about my irritation with mainstream nature conservation the other day, and it prompted some interest. I've now written a blog: 'Time to Get Angry: Beyond the Cosy Consensus in British Nature Conservation'. jmdean1982.medium.com/time-to-get-an…. Please have a read.

WOWZERS! Awesome footage of Kestrel vs Hobby at the Stow Maries nest box with @DenisStr Possibly one of the most incredible things I have captured! See the other clips on my blog: wildlifekate.co.uk/post/kestrels-… @ChrisGPackham @Hawkandowluk @Natures_Voice @BBCSpringwatch @SIBirdClub

@jkrowan Thanks Jenny. I can get my kids to run the field course

Watching another moorland burn in @peakdistrict from my house. So frustrating to watch this while in a meeting about wetland restoration and carbon sequestration @TimBirchWild #Glossop

I am delighted that my review on familiarity as a cue to kinship in social birds has been selected for the @FrontEcolEvol 2020 Highlights. It's a pleasure for this to feature alongside other excellent research published in a very challenging year #Ecology shar.es/aoIkaB

@marcel_gil @stevie_evans1 @macstronach @xenocanto I have a female bullfinch saved from a cat last spring. I can confirm she sings her heart out every day

Super job! Well done all! What a cool project doing Species ID on a chip :) 🦏🧬👩‍🔬

@RobynAnneGrant @Dr_Tom_Allen I thought you shrunk your husband

Oops! I accidentally shrunk my husbands lovely, thick woolly jumper in the wash... and now it perfectly matches and fits under my dungarees! It does a lovely job of keeping me warm while working from home in our draughty flat. #sorrynotsorry
